My blog is a culinary journey through good eats in central Florida and points beyond by me, the Lake Mary Food Critic. I cover all aspects of food including dining, cooking, shopping, and events--anything food!

Ri Ra Irish Pub rocks! A friend and I went here for drinks after work recently, and I was very impressed. Most of the interior woodwork, floors, and decorations have been imported directly from Ireland--it really has to be seen to be believe. Very ornate and very old, the furninshing and all deocorations are astounding.

It's an Irish pub and they have a nice selection of Irish (and other) beers on tap, plus an extensive list of bottle beers from all over. A beer lover would have no problem finding something great to drink here.

We decided on an appetizer, the Hand Cut Chips--french fries that were totally awesome. Hand cut, fried, and served with a great dipping sauce of mayo, malt vinegar, and worcestershire--they were wonderful.

Ok, the drinks here were pretty darned good too. And the drinks plus the atmosphere plus the appetizers added up to a really good time. I sure wished I lived in Atlanta and close to this place, as I'd probably become a regular here. But if you're in the area, you need to try this place out. And again. And again!

Oh, and if you were wondering....yes, the chocolate martini in the background is definitely awesome! Try it!
